Copying a Playlist to Aireo or a Mix

  1. I installed SoniqSync on a Windows 2000 operating system. When I clicked Copy Music (or Add Playlist) from SoniqSync I noticed there is no MUSICMATCH® Playlists folder. What do I do?

    Some folders may not appear on the Open Playlist dialog on Window 2000 operating systems because the Desktop.ini properties are not set correctly. The following example displays the Open Playlist dialog without the MUSICMATCH® Playlists folder (not that on Windows 2000 it is called the Default folder):



    To restore the missing folders, you need to change the Desktop.ini Properties in Windows 2000. The following steps describe how to change the Desktop.ini Properties:

    1. Open Windows Explorer (that is, File Manager).

    2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\Playlists\Default.

    3. Right-click on the Desktop.ini file and select the Security tab, as shown in the following example:
       

      4.  

    4. Verify there is a check in the Allow... checkbox at the bottom of the dialog and that Everyone is present in the upper window. If you previously cleared the checkbox and re-selected it, Everyone will be added by default.

    5. Click Apply to save your changes.

    6. Return to the SoniqSync (or SoniqSync - SoniqMix) dialog and click Copy Music (or Add Playlist). You should see the folder for MUSICMATCH in the left column. Note that the MUSICMATCH® Playlists folder is called Default and the Windows Media® Playlists is called My Playlists on the Windows 2000 operating system.

  2. I installed SoniqSync on a Windows 2000 operating system.  There is no Desktop.ini. What do I do?

    1. Go to the Windows File Manager and select Tools > Folder Options.

    2. Select the View tab and scroll down the Advanced settings dialog and remove the check the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) checkbox, as shown in the following example:

      3.  

    3.  Click the Apply to save your changes.

  3. I installed SoniqSync on a Windows 2000 operating system.  I don't see the Shared Music folder, Windows Media® Playlists folder or MUSICMATCH® Playlists folders in the Open Playlist dialog. What do I do?

    Windows Media Player 9 on a Windows 2000 operating system points to the My Music location under All Users (the default place for saving new music). This is also the shared music folder on Windows 2000. The My Music folder with the music note on it is not available for the Open Playlist dialog.

Along the same lines, Windows 2000 ignores the LocalizedResourceName entry in Desktop.ini, so the MUSICMATCH and Windows Media playlist locations do not display the verbose Windows Media® Playlists and MUSICMATCH® Playlists. Instead, it displays the actual sub-folder names for Windows Media Player and MUSICMATCH Jukebox. The subfolder name for Windows Media® Playlists is My Playlists and the subfolder name for MUSICMATCH® Playlists is Default. Click appropriate subfolder name to access the playlists for a specific Playlist Manager.
